Coagulation Factor IX for Hemophilia B Therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Factor IX is a zymogen enzyme of the blood coagulation cascade. Inherited absence or deficit of the IX functional factor causes bleeding disorder hemophilia B, which requires constant protein replacement therapy. Reviewed herein are the current state in the manufacturing of FIX, improved variants of the recombinant protein for therapy, transgenic organisms for obtaining FIX, and the advances in the gene therapy of hemophilia B.

Expression of Recombinant Coagulation Factor IX in Human Amniotic Membrane-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells: A New Strategy to Gene Therapy of Hemophilia B
Background: Hemophilia B is an X-linked hereditary disorder of blood coagulation system which is caused by factor IX (FIX) deficiency. Factor IX is a plasma glycoprotein that participates in the coagulation process leading to the generation of fibrin. Replacement of factor IX with plasma-derived or recombinant factor IX is the conventional treatment for hemophilia B to raise the factor IX le...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Relationship Between Factor IX Inhibitor in Hemophilia B Patients and Different Types of Therapy in the North-eastern Part of Iran
Background: Hemophilia B is a bleeding disorder with a recessive X-linked inheritance pattern, in which the infected individuals have low levels of factor IX in their plasma. Affected individuals may have bleeding episodes after trauma or spontaneously considering the plasma level of factor IX. In order to prevent these episodes and to control bleeding, they should use coagulation factor concen...

Background: Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive coagulation disorder caused by factor IX deficiency. Analysis of factor IX gene polymorphisms is considered the best approach for prenatal diagnosis and carrier detection of hemophilia B where the identification of gene mutation is not easily possible. Objective: To study the frequency of three factor IX-linked restriction fragment length polym...

Background: Heterogeneous mutations in the human coagulation factor IX gene lead to an X-linked recessive bleeding disorder known as hemophilia B. The disease is distributed worldwide with no ethnic or geographical priority. Materials and Methods: The aim of this study was to characterize the factor IX gene mutations in 28 unrelated Iranian hemophilia B patients. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
متن کاملThe Survey of Effective Agents on Factor VIII and IX Inhibitors in Patients with Hemophilia A and B in Kermanshah Province
Background: Hemophilia is the most frequent severe hereditary hemorrhagic disease due to deficiency of coagulation factors VIII (Hemophilia A) or IX (Hemophilia B) in plasma. We aimed to identify patients with hemophilia in Kermanshah, Iran and assess the incidence of inhibitors in this population and its associated factors. Methods: This study was conducted on patients with hemophilia...
